GET INVOLVED

I Get You was started by JRS Europe in 9 European countries with the goal of identifying community building initiatives for local citizens and refugees. It began with some questions: what are the best practices that community building initiatives have found for working with local citizens and migrants? How do these initiatives build understanding and friendship? How do they counter racism and xenophobia?You can get involved by:

THE RESEARCH

The research side of the project will enable us to analyse and compare initiatives across Europe. We will produce a mapping report and after that go to interview people in the initiatives themselves to gather even more data. Finally, 9 national reports and one European report will be launched and disseminated amongst policymakers and practitioners to raise awareness about best practices.
